The 3rd album from heavy riffers and "devil-worshipers" Black Sabbath. It was their big breakthrough as the album reached nr. 5 in the UK-charts and 8 in the US charts. Many critics did not like the bands heaviness, darkness and Sabbath were accused of being satanists, hence my comment above... Since this album was released the very year I was born I have come to like it many many years later and I see it as one of the best hardrock albums ever to be released since I like pure heavy metal, melody and progressive music. Music that moves my soul. All is here but I want to hear more after the short 34 minutes delivered.

1)Sweet leaf (8,5) One of the best riffs ever! Begins with Tony Iommi coughing after taking a joint.

2)After forver (9,0) Superb driving riff and rhythm and nice changes of those.

3)Embryo (-) 30 second intro.

4)Children of the grave (8,0) Good strutting riff but some stupid bongo-drum destroys half of the song.

5)Orchid (-) 1.30 long acoustic guitarpicking.

6)Lord of this world (9,5) Incredible riff and heaviness! Quiet slow song.

7)Solitude (7,0) Mystic slow song with a bassline and flute together with spacy vocals.

8)Into the void (10,0) Not many songs get full points! An absolutely fantastic song. First a 1-minute slow "intro" and the the most evil riff there ever was and the vocals makes it even more powerful before a fast part sets in and then back to the heavy slow basspumping and riff. Wow!

Score: 8,67

    Another one of my favorite bands from the 1980's and 90's. I have always loved thier simple and bluesy hardrocksongs with singer Jack Russell's clear and sensetive vocals. This, their 3rd album is one of the highlights of the band's career a...
